We sit at our desks for hours each day, wouldn't it be nice to have a dead-simple app to remind us to stand up every 30 minutes? I just create such simple app. Enjoy and love to hear your feedback :)
What's the benefit of having this be a desktop application rather than mobile app? How does this differ from existing mobile apps that seem to offer the same general functionality?
I'm just trying to solve my own problem, as a dev I code for hours without standing up. I use my phone for 1 min max each time so I don't need a reminder there.
Not the creator, but it is in your face.
lol that's true. I just wanted something to block your screen, you either stand up or click to dismiss, at least I know it's already 30 mins!
Neat idea. Just a suggestion. Can be made into an Electron App .
Thanks! Can you please explain more about Electron App? It's based on Electron. I already exported the binary for macOS and Windows (https://github.com/KNNCreative/please_stand_up/releases).

Do you mean submit it to Mac App Store? I plan to do it later.
